that makes two of us. I want the orange on the truck real bad. This way it will look like I am on a good roll.

[gdavis]

Guys I did do a lot of work on the bed sides. I went over them again with a pencil to mark any place where it might need some work. As you can see.

[gdavis]

Tpday I started fine sanding the bed side with 320 grit. Untill I had to stop and just set down and think. Guys a lot is running thru my minds lately. A friend pass away yesterday. And my best friends wife had a mini stroke. So I have not been myself and just couldn't get in the mood working on my truck. So guys keep working and I will be back Maybe Wednesday with a fresh mind.

thanks guys. It means a lot. I worked a little bit on one of my rear fenders drivers side.
Just to keep my mind off of the problem of life. Didn't get a lot done but it did help. So maybe tomorrow I will post something.
Brian thanks a lot for posting your comment.
Bhelton That is why i did a little on the fender just to keep busy and thanks.

Well it is over. The funeral and my friend is coming home from the Hosiptal tomorrow I hope. Now I can get my head back in the build. Today I sanded some more on the drivers side rear fender. As you can see where I repaired it a few months ago.
Maybe tomorrow I will finish the fender. I hope to shoot some primer on it also.

Sorry about both your friends, George. Your work looks great, keep it up!

thank you.

Today I finshed the pass side rear fender. It came out real nice. I sanded the k2 primes that was shoot on it a few months ago. Then I shoot some more white primer and I am real satified with the results.



I would have shoot some orange on it if it wasn't for the love bugs here in Florida in September. I tried to shoot orange on the bed sides but now I have to re-do them. Love bugs are a real pain this time of year. If you guys are planning on a trip down here to Florida don't drive your truck. In September and May is a big no no. The love bugs will eat up up paint.

It looks like it turned out really nice George.

Yea that fender is done with no other work needed. I just can't paint it yet.

[gdavis]

Today I worked on the other fender (drivers side). It has a lot of work to do untill it is done. But it is coming alone just fine. I hope to shoot some primer on it also tomorrow. But first I need to cut the cross member holes so the exhaust pipes can go thru them. I have put that off long enough.

[gdavis]

I put it off again. The cross member that is.
Why is it that when you make a plan someone always seen to change it? I sand blasted some parts today. I did not want to sand blast today. But what the hey. I did get to finish the drivers side rear fender. It had a little rusty holes in the inter lip of the wheel well. And a lot of pitting so I go it taking care of. Monday I am going to cut the cross member for the exhaust. I hope.



The only way a person could see the holes in the lip was to stick their head in the wheel well. But I knew they were there. So now they are not.

[gdavis]

Today is a good day to paint this month but only one thing. It is 100% humanity like man it is raining for the next two days. And the love bugs are laying low. So I will wait and do more work on the fender.

[gdavis]

Today, I cut one side out for the exhaust on the cross member. It has been raining down here a lot. Maybe tomorrow I will do the other side and then I will post pictures.
There is so much moisture in the air. I could not even sand the fender. The sand paper gummed up when I tried.

[cubber]

Hey, George. it's been a while since I have been on here. Sorry for your troubles. I will pray for you and your friends. Your truck is looking really good. Those crossmember holes are a booger to cut. I heard there was lots of rain down there today. I think I might be in your neck of the woods around Oct. 30th.

Thanks a lot. It is getting better now. I let God handle what I can't. I am gladthat I don't have the drive shaft installed. It makes it a lot easier.

Today I did nothing except for nursing a tooth. Going to the Dentist in the morning. I have put it off long enough. So untill Friday guys keep up the good work.

[gdavis]

well. I went to the Dentist and he put me on some amoxicillin for 7 days. It looks like I will have it removied then. So guys it might be a hit and miss with me for another week. But as long as I am not in too much pain I will do what I can on the old girl. It looks like I will not be entering patches in the Christmas parade this year. There is just too much work to be done on her. There is always another year and a another parade.
Thanks Brian for calling me today. Sorry I missed your call I was still at the Dentist.

You bet, feel better soon.

George, it's taken me two days on and off of reading to get all the way through your build thread, and what a trip it has been! You've really done some amazing work, and I have really enjoyed all the pictures and details you've posted along the way. Keep up the good work!

I have a love/hate relationship with sandblasting myself. I love the results, hate doing it, and it sounds like from what I've read that you've nearly sandblasted two whole trucks on and off over the duration of the build, you have my respect!
